Dragonhead Shield is a Shield in Dark Souls 3. It is part of The Ringed City. Small Shields usually weigh very little and have the least form of protection from attacks. They are often used by players who prefer parrying rather than blocking.

This shield, as hard as a great boulder, is formed by the head of the descendant of an Archdragon.

The Ringed Knights, by command of the gods, stood amongst the ranks who set out to slay the dragons, but their contributions were never lauded.

Skill: Dragon Breath
Even the descendant of an Archdragon perishes not, and use of this skill restores its former strength, sweeping foes with a frontal exhalation of dragon breath.

Dragonhead Shield Notes and Tips:

• Cannot be Buffed or Infused.
• Reinforced with Titanite Scale
• Has spectacular fire defense, especially for a shield of its size.
• At close range the weapon art can true combo with a follow up attack:
  • Curved Swords
  • Hammers (not Warpick or Heysel Pick)
  • Thrusting Swords
  • Straightswords
• At medium Range the weapon art can true combo with a follow up attack:
  • Axes
  • Katanas (not Washing Pole)
  • Scythes
  • Halberds

Location/Where to Find

• Available in The Ringed City DLC
• You can find it after completing the "Show Your Humanity" Puzzle near the Ringed City bonfire. Go past the Judicator and proceed to the Purging Monument, but turn around instead of crossing the bridge. The item is at the end of the narrow path. A single Hollow Cleric will ambush you, and you might have to dodge summoned phantoms if you didn't kill the Judicator.
